Difference Between Basic & Deluxe Dining Plan ?

[vanillarum]

Hi gang. I haven't been to the boards much lately (mercy, please !). We were at WDW in Aug, and since our next trip will be summer of '09 at the earliest, I haven't been on as much as when I was planning our trip. I have a question about the "new" DDP. First, is the new basic package any different than the old one ? And 2, what is the difference between the basic package and the deluxe package ? Thanx for your help.

Basic ddp is still 1CS and 1TS per night per person but the table service only includes entree, dessert and drink. No more apps for the TS credit.

The deluxe plan is 3 "flexible" meal credits per night per person. These can be used for CS or TS. The signature restaurants are still 2 credits each. Plus you get 2 snacks per night per person and a refillable mug at your resort. Also the table service credit includes app, entree, dessert and drink.

The basic plan has removed the appetizers and you now must pay tips on all dining plans.

The deluxe is almost the same but it includes appetizers, free refillable mugs, and you can eat at all TS meals if you wish.
